Oct 19, 2006 Thanks to Degarth. Pours a clear golden, thin white head. For a beer with no barley, it’s not bad. Just a crisp refreshing lager style beer. Pretty much no hops and no other real flavors happening some slight sweetness. Really don’t know what to say it’s a better tasting pale lager.

Oct 18, 2006 The aroma is sweet and fruity with rice (has a sake smell to it) and what I can only assume is sorghum. The appearance is light pale gold with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. This isn’t one of those beers you compare to the greats as its real value is for those who want a beer but can’t have one due to allergies. And it fits that role well and is quite drinkable.

Oct 11, 2006 Pale orange body, thin to almost absent off-white head. Fleeting aroma with grain husks and a strange sour character. The same sourness is the defining characteristic of the lifeless body, which reminds me of significantly watered-down apple juice with a peculiar aftertaste that only becomes apparent after swallowing the "beer." I applaud the brewery for developing a beer possibly safe for Celiacs, but this about as good as gluten-free rice- or tapioca-based bread. Which means not very.

Oct 11, 2006 Swear I’ve rated this beer before. This is probably my least favorite of the Lakefront brews. Like the concept and the fact my favorite brewery is willing to take chances, but just not a fan of the beer.

Oct 10, 2006 Loads of soda like bubbles coating the inside of the glass. Tons of carbonation. Lively head that looks like soda bubbles again. Light ginger and cornbread aroma. Maybe some cardboard and light fruit. Color is a medium gold. Light and crisp flavor with some light vanilla and a creamy texture. Unusual. Little ginger again and some ricey stuff. Finish is pretty clean with a little bit of malty texture and some light spices and lemon. An ok and refreshing brew.

Oct 7, 2006 Bottle. Clear gold. Rocky white head. Nose is odd. Sweet and sort of creamy with a unique rice pudding-like aroma. Taste is sweet and creamy with some tapioca pudding notes, light vanilla, and light rice. Body is light and bubbly but controlled. Finishes with more pudding notes, rice this time, soft french vanilla and some sugary flavors. Not bad but I couldn’t drink more than one of these.

Oct 5, 2006 This has a light aroma and a quick short lasting head. The taste is thin as expected for a lager type made with Sorghum, which is lightly sweet followed by an almost metallic hop taste. I recognize the use of rice in the type of sweetness. A good utility beer, but not otherwise impressive.

Oct 3, 2006 Light and cirtrousy, is the best way to discribe this one. I tend to uaally like a beer that has a little bit of that sour taste or a sweet wheat taste, but this was not doing it for me. Interesting becoues it is made of sorghum and rice, but the taste is just too watery and thin.
